Welcome

I am delighted to welcome you to Marling School Sixth Form. I am very proud of the students and staff at this outstanding school and I am confident that you would thrive here.

Marling School is a boys’ grammar school with a history of educational excellence and commitment to preparing young men for life and the wider world. We work collaboratively with Stroud High School; sharing facilities, the curriculum and many extra-curricular activities. We challenge all students in our Sixth Form to embrace the many opportunities on offer, to get involved in the full life of the Sixth Former and to broaden their horizons, while achieving their academic potential. Through these challenges students are well prepared for the next step; be that to read for a degree at university, underage a skilled apprenticeship, embark on a gap year or enter the world of work.

At Marling School Sixth Form we set high standards and expect Sixth Formers to lead by example. Our Sixth Form students lead many activities in the school and play a valuable role supporting their peers and younger students. Students in Marling School Sixth Form are fully immersed in the life of the school and are an integral part of its success. We are delighted that you are taking an interest in the school and hope you will consider joining us.

Marling Sixth Form will operate separate sixth forms in the future as student numbers continue to expand.

Students applying to join Marling School in September 2018 will not be affected by the changes. They will continue to be part of a shared sixth form in years 12 and 13 and will have the same experience and facilities as our current sixth formers.
